If that’s what you believed, you’d be wrong!

Explicitly stated in Nova’s “independent” contract is a non-competition clause which bars so-called “independent contractors” from teaching anywhere else.

Section 11, Paragraph 1, states:

The ironic thing is that Nova’s employment contracts have no such clause. As long as they’re not poaching students from Nova, instructors on employment contracts can (and do!) work at other schools part-time, or advertise and teach their own private lessons, whenever they want.

Not so “independent” after all.
